Vijay Prashad explains why a group of international media organizations reject and denounce the U.S. government’s attack on Julian Assange and journalism.
The bombshell revelations of the imprisoned journalist were arguably small potatoes compared to the criminality Assange exposed by simply standing his ground, writes Caitlin Johnstone.
Fabian Scheidler says so much suffering — including Assange’s imprisonment for exposing war criminals — buries the idea of “humanitarian intervention.”
Craig Murray compares Thursday’s proceedings — during which the judge harassed Fitzgerald just as the defense had the prosecution on the ropes — to a Stalin show trial.
Caitlin Johnstone issues a reminder that the WikiLeaks publisher not only tried to alert the State Department he also pulled an all-nighter to cleanse the logs of over 10,000 names.
